I suggest they change the name of the current Bitcoin Foundation to the Realcoin Foundation and then we can, if needed(?), form a new Bitcoin Foundation for the benefit of Bitcoin.
How are we sure that the "Bitcoin Foundation 2.0" wont turn out the same in the end? "Either You die a hero, or live long enough to become the villain." |

No impact on Bitcoin whatsoever.
Bitcoin Foundation will do its thing.
Andreas will continue his awesome efforts.
Anyone know, is he on this forum?

All the core developers who were with Bitcoin at the beginning are starting to leave, this could actually affect the price, especially if the Bitcoin foundation still has the ability to fuck with the network unless the community can create their own fork we all agree on.
What are you talking about? The Foundation is entirely separate from the Bitcoin Core development group. They don't have any power over the network. |

Andreas Antonop's tweet is the worst news yet that I've heard for bitcoin. Looks like Andreas is done with the Bitcoin Foundation. Good. Screw the Bitcoin Foundation. "I can no longer have even the smallest association with the Bitcoin Foundation, because of the complete lack of transparency" https://twitter.com/aantonop/status/486926129409052672The Bitcoin foundation has gained Pierce and lost Antonopolos. This isn't going in the right direction at all. This is good news, the foundation is a questionable organization for Bitcoin and we need alternatives. It would be better to start fresh while Bitcoin is still relatively young and get this shuffling done when its not as painful to do. |

It's just a Mastercoin pump.
I heard Brock's new coins was called Realcoin. It is, but it's based on Mastercoin. It's another P&D like the Maidsafe IPO. |

He has an account, he's not vey active though. I don't rember his handle but it should be something very similar to his twitter one. Edit: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=79085 |

Or day T-minus something. When Gavin proposed the foundation a year or so before it was created the response here on this forum was overwhelmingly positive. Only Theymos and a few others (myself included) voiced some concerns strongly enough to give the idea the thumbs down. As it turned out the results of forming the foundation were worse then I envisioned they might be. Much worse in fact. It is actually not possible to know exactly what the impact of TBF has been. The response from the U.S. govt apparatus has been much more favorable than I expected. Ditto adoption by mainstream entities. It is very possible that the actions of the foundation had a lot to do with this, and it is also the case that a vast majority of folks here think that these two things are fantastic. I don't, so even if TBF is responsible it's not something which would change my mind about their being worthwhile. The only positive thing I can say about The Bitcoin Foundation is that they have played a major part in destroying most of the philosophical hopes I had for the solution and thereby paved the way for me to feel OK about milking the shit out of it's success irrespective of the impact my actions may have. At this point my actions are minimal anyway. About the only real support I've ever lent to Bitcoin was to try to mop up some liquidity in the late 2011 timeframe when that action was sorely needed, and that proved fortuitous. |
